I Want To Be Superman.

"Faster than a speeding bullet.
More powerful than a locomotive.
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

Look! Up in the sky!
It's a bird. It's a plane. It's Superman!

Yes, it's Superman - strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Superman - who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel with his bare hands, and who, disguised as Clark Kent, mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights the never ending battle for Truth, Justice and the American Way."

(click on the above quote to actually hear the introduction to the George Reeves Superman tv show from the 50's.)

He was always my favorite hero. And he still is.
He's good and strong and honest and noble in a way that we can only strive to be.
More than his strength, I wish I had his integrity. His confidence. His clarity.
This is Superman as I know him.

Enjoy.
